JDACCS Mission

/ /

^j#)r /£/

A/

Provide the Maneuver Battalion Fire Support Element /

Fire Support Coordination Center (FSE/FSCC) and Company
Fire Support Team

(CO FIST) the functionality to perform command and
control (C2) for

the delivery of fires and effects.

Slide 2

Meeting the Mission

JDACCS Capabilities

* Obtain and maintain near real time information data
flow between itself and external platforms

* Operate as a remote fire support node collocated as
integrated workstation within a battalion or company
level OPFAC

* Operate as a stand alone workstation
(primarily at company level) using
Combat Net Radio /
wireline communications

• Tailored for FSCOORD use,
connected by CNR to an AFATDS
server

• Windows NT 'Look and Feel'

• FS Situation Monitor - Unit
Locations, Targets, FSCM

• Target Lists/Reports

• Friendly/Enemy Artillery Vectors

• Interoperability with MS Office®
Products

Slide 4

Transition to JDACCS

• Represents an integration of EMT / FST, AFATDS (limited tactical
fire control) and C2PC functionality sufficient to perform the
actions relevant to the duties of the Bn FSE and CO FIST

Extract and maintain the relevant information needed to enable
the FSE to make timely, accurate, and informed decisions on:

- Employment and coordination of fires

Management activities to synchronize
all available fire support assets

Provides a common platform that can be used for
the Horizontal Clearance of Fires

Run on a CHS 2 Notebook Computing Unit
(NCU) or co-hosted with the C2PC on the
C2PC platform

JDACCS Configurations

* JDACCS will be capable of operating in two
configurations: ■

Vehicle Mounted (BFIST) Portable Man Pack

* Utilize vehicle power and
communications

* Using the Common Sensor Link
Protocol, will interface with the
Optical and Range Finding System

* Power is provided by the
hardware platform

* Uses organic communications
assets (i.e.. Combat Net Radio
(CNR))

Slide 6

JDACCS Features

* Designed to reduce training time for the FSE/FSCC from 3 weeks
to 1 week. Achievable through:

- An intuitive, easy to use Graphical User Interface (GUI)

- A "Microsoft Look and Feel" similar to other Microsoft applications

* Operator can tailor the software based on his role / responsibility:

- Tailor the windows presented

- Display can be organized into a series of overlays, each having a
relevant subset of information (targets, unit types, FSCM)

- Highlight / color code targets, units, symbols, etc., of special interest

- Graphically display mission status

- Standard or customized reports on FSCMs, targets, missions, units

* Operator preferences are stored for recall on log-in

Slide 7

JDACCS Information Tools

* Spreadsheet capability is provided for:

- Unit Data: Unit type, location, platform, ammunition, inventory,
command / support relationships, range, posture

- Target Data: Target type, location, target list, engagement history

- FSCM / Battlespace Geometry: Type, shape, effective times,
affiliation, location, establishing unit, status (active / inactive)
(Atlas-C2PC; JMTK-Other)

- Mission Status / Summary Information: Status (in process, ready,
shot, splash, etc.,), target type and location, assigned delivery units

* Target List Worksheet Tool

- Retrieve stored targets / target lists from AFATDS

- Import / export target lists via spreadsheet

- Create target list; add, delete targets from target lists

JDACCS Summary

* Represents an integration of EMT / FST, AFATDS (limited tactical
fire control), and C2PC functionality

* Run on a CHS 2 Notebook Computing Unit (NCU) or co-hosted
with the C2PC on the C2PC platform

* JDACCS provides the FSE with a level of flexibility to include all
the functionality required to operate as an independent remote
fire support stand alone terminal

* JDACCS serves as a client application to SOR and FIOP
applications (i.e., WEEMC)

* JDACCS provides simplified Fire Support training
